31 July 08 - Update: AKON DISCUSSES HMH SINGLE, VIDEO WITH MTV

Okay, after hearing HMH, I absolutely LOVE IT. Dang, MJ sure knows how to get a girl's tears flowing. The song is beautiful. Beautiful voice, a beautiful message. I can't wait to see the video. A song for the world, a song for his girl. What a great concept.



Thanks Whisper from MJEOL for saving the link for me/us. This was the message w/the link to the song:

(In case you STILL haven't heard (where have you been!?), Akon's single "Hold My Hand" featuring the smooth-voiced King of Pop, Michael Jackson, is up and ready for your listening pleasure!)




Thanks again MJEOL for the link.

the only tie Akon has with Sony is that Sony is ONE OF the distributers for his albums... Aside from that... nothing..

He's with interscope, who is under Universal Music Group..
 
LOL what's with all the confusion on this Akon thing?

Sony/ATV publish his songs. and i don't know about Sony (BMG) being a distributor - where did you get this from? Universal distributes all his albums under Konvict Muzik.

you may be thinking of the Jive Records affliation with other artists under Konvict, but not Akon.

That doesn't make sense. Akon IS a Universal artist. His production company just happens to be connected to Sony BMG so technically he's NOT a Sony artist. :lol:
 
^ yup


KONVICT MUZIK is UNDER INTERSCOPE... WHICH IS UNDER UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP..

SONY is just one of the distributers of Konvict music through Jive Records.

yes that's what i said - but Akon himself isn't associated with Jive or any Sony BMG distributor; it's only a few other artists on his label that are.

hence his only connection with Sony is the publishing company. lol
 
^ We don't know YET if Akon will distribute his next album through Sony also.. I dont' think he would give his artists more distributers than himself..

I know he has not released an album with SONY as a distributer for himself yet.. But keep in mind that the Konvict Muzik was established in 2005, when his last album was released in 2006.. It did not even have a full year prior to it's release.. From my understanding SONY as a distributer for Konvict Muzic was created AFTER his last album.. SO!!! we'll see. His last album was not associated with jive.. Now that he is through his company, things will be much different..

'Acquitted' will most likely be distributed by Jive/Sony also.

na T-Pain's been with Jive/Konvict since 2005 (God help them lol).

don't believe Akon has that much control over how many distributors other artists deal with LOL this is practically a Universal label, not an Akon one.

I love it how everyone seems to be more preoccupied with Akon's label than Michael's affairs :rofl:

We'll see if Michael signs with Akon's label or not. Though I have a feeling he won't and then nobody's gonna care about Akon's label any more :lol:

And they were being productive about it. I'm like "what's all this about Akon's business deals?" :lol:
 
October isn't too far off. Then after HMH is out (and akon's album) hopefully michael will be gearing up to release his first single or something alittle while after. I will be bracing myself for the storm that is to come. OHHHH YEAH!

GET IT MIKE!:wild:

Why are ya'll arguing about who Akon is signed with? Who care!? Did ya'll miss that the song isn't finished, which COULD mean that hopefully Michael will be more prominent on the track, or even have more then one verse, AND he's supposed to be in the video? Ohhh, that's all that matters. You guys need to get your priorities straight.

i remeber her, and this email seems to be a lie. I mean the adress is real, and I knew it long ago, I'm sure Romonica, wants to act as an MJ representative, or somth. Back when she appeared on Justyssystem, during the trial, MJJsource, later issued a statement, about her.
